Bolt seams are another type of joint that is held tightly together using bolts through flanges attached to the bottom of the counter. Where the bolt seam is located, the wood underdecking that supports the rest of the stainless steel must be cut out or relieved to make space for the bolt seam flanges. This type of seam is sealed using silicone caulk between the bolt flanges before setting the countertop.These hairline seams allow shipment of very large counter top systems and permit easier installation in your kitchen. The cost is comparable to fully welded seamless construction. The end result is comparable to standard laminate seams and solid top joints.
